Flexibility with Azure Credits
Any taxes which may result from receiving services at no charge are the sole responsibility of the recipient.
The choice is now yours on how you use your Azure credits. Use them on any Azure service based on your needs including, Virtual Machines, Web Sites, Cloud Services, Mobile Services, Storage, SQL Database, Content Delivery Network, HDInsight, Media Services, and many more.
Use the pricing calculator to estimate how much you could use with $100 per month. Here are a few usage scenarios that consume no more than $100 per month:
Run 1 small Virtual Machine instance for the entire month, or
- Store 400 GB of data in Storage, or
- Develop and test a web application using Cloud Services, with 3 web roles and 2 worker roles on small instances, for 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, or
- Run a 30GB SQL Database for the entire month Any unused monthly credits cannot be carried over to subsequent months and cannot be transferred to other Azure subscriptions. Monthly usage in excess of the monthly credit amount included with your offer will be charged at the Pay-As-You-Go rates. You will be notified at least 30 days in advance of any changes to the Pay-As-You-Go rates.
You must be in the Microsoft Partner Network Cloud Essentials program and utilize a Microsoft Account associated with that program. Microsoft Partner Network doesn’t support Organizational ID, and you should use Microsoft Account (Live ID) to activate/use this subscription. The MPN team is planning to add Org ID support soon. You must maintain an active membership to enjoy the Azure benefit for Microsoft Partner Network Cloud Essentials. This offer is limited to one per subscriber.
We require a credit card or debit card to authenticate you when you sign up. Your credit card will initially NOT be charged as your new account has a $0 Spending Limit. Use up to your monthly Azure credits at no charge. If you exceed your monthly credits, your service will be disabled for that month. You can choose to turn off your Spending Limit, and any usage each month in excess of the monthly credits will be charged at the Pay-As-You-Go rates. Read more about the Spending Limit feature.

Azure Credits may not be used to purchase Azure support plans, third-party branded products, or products otherwise sold separately from Azure (for example, Microsoft Entra ID Premium).
